You didn't read what I said. I said that the only reason people aren't blackpilled is because the majority of players don't know how bleak the situation is. This is ignorance, not enjoyment.
If you actually read what people are saying, they're talking out of hope, not experience, and they're specifically talking about features they hope to be in the game which forum-goers know from the horse's mouth ain't happening.
If they didn't enjoy the game they wouldn't be playing it. Blissful ignorance or not, a large group of people are playing the game and if they did not enjoy then they wouldn't be playing it. And, if I'm being quite frank, the situation isn't as bleak as some make it out to be. I'm not saying the situation is amazing, it is doomer levels of awful.
And yeah, a lot of people want features in a game, I know I want features in other games. People tend to speak about features that they would wish would be in a game. If these features aren't in the game, however, I doubt this will cause that many people to take a blackpill.
Yes. If BL releases and sieges still don't work and armor is still paper mache and the only way to level roguery is to kill 2 million peasants etc etc etc people will lose their everloving crap.
Hell, I just told people that feasts aren't in the game and there are minimal dynamic relations with clan leaders and that ALONE pissed people off. Much of the late-game gameplay of WB & VC was managing lord relation and that added a lot of depth to the gameplay - even if it was a kinda janky mechanic.
Yeah, if they released a buggy EA game people would be mad. That's why it hasn't been released yet, and we don't have a concrete date for it. By release, I am pretty confident that these issues will be sorted, as you don't lauch with glaring issues such as broken sieges.
And I would like to see these conversations, as I doubt people who play Bannerlord would have an incredibly emotional reaction to feasts not being in the game. And, knowing that you have a track record of being inflammatory, it would be nice to see these conversations that you are speaking about.
FFS I specifically said that I wasn't accusing them of lying.
Bro. Please just read what I write before responding to it like that. This is what I'm talking about when I said you were being an insulting prat.
Yeah you were. The statement made by Duh was clear, "No, the anger had no effect on it". A dev isn't just wrong in that statement, they know the answer to that because they work there. They would know what caused the change. So, in this instance, it is either Duh being truthful or Duh is lying, not just Duh being wrong. I did read your statement, and that is why I chose to speak about him lying.
Also I never directly insulted you in that statement, while you called me a prat. I think it is clear to see who is coming off as more insulting.
In other words, you are agreeing with us that you don't know what you're talking about - while we do.
No, I'm saying that I don't know when the release date is, given that they've had to push it back before. If you know the exact release date, even with delays, I'd be glad to hear it.
No. By definition it is not reasonable because you don't have a reason to believe that TaleWorlds will change their behavior. You have hope.
You are describing faith, not reason. If you want to get technical about it, the term would be "agreeableness". It is motivated by emotion and personality, not logic or fact.
No, it isn't faith. It is waiting for something to come out before jumping to conclusions about it. If it sucked, then yeah, be angry, that would have been an actual insult. However, there was progress made, and people got angry over a supposed "F-you to modders". It is reasonable to wait for something to actually exist before judging it.
And if we are basing actions off of emotions and/or logic, your's is the one based in emotion. It is based off of being angry over the past year of bad communication and not waiting for something to be released. It is being angry enough to jump to conclusions. Mine follows the logic of "it isn't here yet, so I can't form an opinion on it yet".
I read that sentence. You said, to quote "The game, at this point, is being ironed out and polished. Once the game is polished, and the desired features have been added, that is when a game leaves EA."
No you didn't, you responded to that in a different paragraph. This was in response to me stating that the game was "fine as is" even though I specified that I didn't believe that.
You have no evidence that the game is being ironed out and polished. Instead of major changes to the way armor or siege AI works, for instance, we have gotten sheep textures and a barber and +1/-1 tweaks to item stats. Some bugs have been removed and a roughly equal amount have been added.
That is not being ironed out and polished. That is being tweaked. It's what you do to a finished product. You do not have evidence that the game will substantially improve because the game has not substantially improved in over a year.
Yeah I do, the recent patch for one. 1.6.0 worked on things besides modding, it greatly improved performance on computers. That is polishing, that is ironing out the game. There have been little quality of life updates that are polishing, such as village icons. While, that isn't actually finishing the game and adding the promised features, it is polishing the game.
And, it is an ongoing process. Things such as the siege problem are still being worked on, and they probably will be for multiple more patches. While they work on the big features that were promised, such as the terrain system, they are polishing the game to make it run better and have slight quality of life fixed.
And in terms of substantially improved, it hasn't. It is a work in progress, however features are being added. Just look at prison breaks, while janky, they are in the game. Massive features are being worked on, they just aren't yet ready for release.
It is not a reasonable belief that a game will be substantially improved post-release when it's not being improved in Early Access.
Yeah it is, because from what I've seen, it is still being worked on. The dev team have a long way to go, and the game will take years before it is a proper sequel in my opinion, but the game will be ready at some point. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Star Citizen, but I do think that TW is going to make a really good game. The core features are there, and that can't be denied, they just need to be expanded upon, which I do think will happen. Things such as diplomacy may remain stale, and that is a problem, but the game can be good, and TW not giving up on the project yet, and not shutting down this forum, lead me to believe that they have yet to give up on it yet. The EA isn't over yet, and it probably won't be over for a while, so they have time.
